Our Outing


                                                             very distracting

Outing one

On Thursday 11th of October was our group’s first ever outing together and where else beats HMV, as we are in our teens some would expect us to be diverted with all the games and gadgets that this store has to propose. However not for group 19, we were on a mission, a mission to interview a member of staff with a series of questions on the alternative rock, soul and abit of dub –step. The following questions that we thought would make a good interview were:

1.     

             1.   What do expect to find in a music video that has the genre of alternative rock/soul?
            2.  Where do you expect most music videos of alternative rock to be set?
            3.   Have you heard of Alex Clare, if yes what do you think of his music and appearance?
           4What props do you expect to find in an alternative rock music video?
             5.  What do you do in your spare time, has it been inspired by alternative rock?

We all took part in this as I (mark) came up with the questions and fahmida held the camera whilst the interview took place with shumon as our interviewer as well as our location specialist. It would have been better if marzana were here to join us as we were one short. 


The most common responses that we received for question number 4 were that the props you would see in a music video will be smoke and a lot of instruments such as a guitar and etc. Which I thought was true but slightly will contradict our music video in the sense that we are not even showing instruments. The only props we are using will be a suitcase, newspaper and bunch of photos (surely this will not have a major impact on the audience).

Smithfield market
On Friday 12th of October was our second outing to check the sights and improve our locations, our first location was Smithfield’s market (not to far from barbican) we wanted to use this sight in our music video because it’s bright, colourful and on certain days it could be used by us to an extent as know one is there at certain times of the day. We were going to use this sight when the main artist is busy reflecting on his past by singing and dancing along the street whist the camera pans and tracks. Certain parts of this location would be cut out and edited to enhance its effect to the audience. This is going to be in the location when the artist walks by, he could lean on the wall and start to sing casually.




















Another place where we checked was brick lane; this was going to be used again for the artist as he ponders around in sadness and discomfort, we could have him walk past allot of graffiti(this is why we chose it ) to show the bitterness he feels for his love.
Clown showing a sad face emphasises the artists feeling. 
We could have the artist lean in between the arc so it looks like he is a part of the picture.
We were going to check out more locations but as the time went by it was almost time to go back to lesson as I was the only member in my group that did not have a day off we decide to postpone the other locations which were Angel cannel and fahmida’s  interior location, her house to another time.
